The Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida, part of the Lee Memorial Health System located at Health Park, and Kohl Corporation department stores, through Kohl's Cares, have partnered in a commitment to keep kids safe.  Through the partnership - ”Kid's Safety Program" -  they promote children's safety and wellness through events such as car seat inspections and safe pool party events. Dates and locations of these events can be found at Kid's Safety Program
